FOOTBALL supporters are a strange breed at the best of times but they don't lack in imagination when it comes to making a statement.

On the back of this weekend's spat between Motherwell supporters and Hibs over the Edinburgh club's ban on the notorious 'Well drum' we've decided to take a look across world football for other bizarre objects or costumes which fans like to take to games.

Look out for beach balls and sombreros, pig heads, sheep costumes, masks and even a full-sized scooter.. yes those Italian fans do like to take things to a whole new level.
